Natalia Belloli, wife of Raphinha from the Brazilian team, speaks out and vehemently denies the financial crisis and family rumors started by Vampeta, World Cup champion
A recent statement by former player Vampeta, 52, generated widespread discussion on social media by indicating that athlete Raphinha was experiencing financial and family difficulties. During his participation in the Red Cast podcast, Vampeta stated: “Raphinha has a serious family and financial problem as well. He is praying to see if he goes to Al-Hilal, he is having this difficulty”, which quickly caught the attention of fans and internet users.
The excerpt in question from the interview can be found at seven minutes and thirty-seven seconds of the video.
The great repercussion of the allegations caused rumors to reach Spain, the country where the Brazilian team striker lives. After being contacted by Garotinho’s Daily profile, Natalia Belloli, the athlete’s spouse, decided to speak out, vehemently refuting the widespread statements.
“Really, I think it’s absurd that I have to talk about my financial life. If we currently earned just 10% of what Raphinha earns, we would already be very blessed. I don’t see the need to expose this on my social networks, as I am fully aware of the social reality in which we live”, he declared.
Mrs. Belloli clarified that, initially, she chose not to refute the speculation in the hope that it would dissipate naturally. She explained her hesitation: “If I made a post saying, ‘Look, I’m not poor, I’m still rich,’ they would call me classless. I thought the story would die, but these rumors have already reached Spain, and everyone is thinking we are in need.”
